Welcome to the new home of ONE Magazine, the leading autochthonous literary and arts publication from Glasgow/Edinburgh and Paris.

We've simplified: the focus is on the writing and imagery, not internet noise. On the home page the latest posts appear - enjoy! Or, you can click a 'category' to sort for specific things - ONE Blogs, a specific issue, author or subject. Finally, you can use the general 'search' feature. Thanks for reading. Comments and debate are welcome.

Someone in the West Coast of Scotland is reading the wrong web sites. As if a visit by the Pope might not be divisive enough, somebody, with the best of intentions, has invited none other than Ex-New York City Mayor Rudolf Giuliani to address the Scottish Council for Development and Industry’s International Awards dinner on 19 November 2010. I’d like to remind the powers-that-invite something my grandmother taught me years ago: Good intentions pave the road to hell. And, if anyone thinks Rudy’s ideas will do anything positive for Scotland and/or Glasgow, get ready for a lot of division, fire, and brimstone. I’m an expat New Yorker, I was forced to endure King G’s iron fist.
